Danceswithrain, if you are not getting the relief like you are expecting, you might want to consider seeing a different psychiatrist or psychologist for another opinion.

Another suggestion....break a chopstick. I know this sounds silly. Just a superstition of course. When i start getting multiple "bad lucks" in a row, I break a chopstick and as far as I know...it works. Someone told me this YRS ago and I still do it. I don't swear by it, but I still just do it because....why not...

There was a article I had read about post-chemo depression. I know that it is not uncommon.

Take care. I will send you a prayer....
